Ha! And a pine air freshener.

How much were they asking for gap insurance, out of interest?

About £600 I think. (IIRC)

The front ends all look the same so it's hard to tell.

Nice colour. Also, is that a pension cash in present? A friend of mine has bought a fucking helicopter with his!

He's just retired at 50 so it's a retirement present to himself from his payout (new VC backers so he got out with a shedload of cash)

It's the chap that's sorting out the Palmer Sport day later this month so hopefully I can sit it in it and masturbate have a drive if he brings it.

It's the 570GT. The flash twat.

It's got doors that open like \ this /.

I see Nick Mason slammed his McLaren F1 GTR into the tyre wall at this weekends Goodwood member's meeting. Ouch. Not a write off, but it won't t-cut out.

The ivory coloured plastic on rear view mirror bugs me when I see it from the outside as all the other trim is black. Just seen a video showing how easily they detach, so I guess I'll be doing some more sweet modifications* to it tonight.

And also I'll be hiding my mates mirror next time I'm out in his golf.

Did this yesterday with the leftover paint I had from restoring my door pulls.

Turned some heads this morning.

I overfilled the petrol can when getting fuel for the mower and a bit spilled in my car. Now the car fucking stinks :spew:

Lucky i don't have far to go for work.

Balls, my alternator belt has just gone ( luckily it's not the timing belt ). They don't make replacing these things easy, do they? Have to take the front half of the car apart to swap out what is basically a big elastic band.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Mar 21, 2017 10:08

Might be easier if you turn your car over.

I will give that a go!

Oil and filter ordered from Opie Oils. (Went for a condo that was just over £40 for free delivery then used a 10% off coupon to get them both for £38 :metul:

)

Treated myself to a new sump plug too.

10% of £40 isn't £2...

Zardoz · **Posted:** Wed Mar 22, 2017 13:41

No, it isn't.

That's why I said over.

I also said condo.

I quite like the look of the Harrier. Plus, y'know, VTOL car is pretty cool.

Alternatively, I have a 3,000 SG$ monthly allowance, so could presumably get an older Mustang or something.

How much driving are talking about here? Do you need to commute?

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

I'll be driving from Singapore to Johor over the border two or three times a week. The other days Ruth will have the car.

myp · **Posted:** Wed Mar 22, 2017 16:36

Probably the CLA, but they're all a pretty uninspiring bunch.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Wed Mar 22, 2017 16:41

Only Autos?

GazChap · **Posted:** Wed Mar 22, 2017 16:42

Alphards are pretty cool.

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16560

Just googled them. That's possibly the most catastrophically ugly front end of a car I've ever seen.

The Alphard looks like a rocket ship.

It looks like a dustbin laid down on its side. Definitely Malicool though.

You want something anonymous, with a large boot, and decent suspension.
